NSHispeed - The Netherlands
Evacuation test of the "Groene Hart Tunnel" on the new HSL-Zuid high-speed line between Schiphol Airport (Amsterdam) and Rotterdam.
Locomotive E 186 113 runs around the train at Rotterdam central station. Note the platform roofs: these well-known structures will soon be removed to make place for a new large station roof. From today (1 September) the old station hall and passage underneath the tracks are closed for major reconstruction.
